The North Dakota Farm Bureau has just announced that its president, Eric Aasmundstad, will be stepping down after 12 years in the position.
Aasmundstad is no longer a full-time farmer because the rising waters of Devils Lake have swallowed up most his family’s farm. Anyone serving as the organization’s leader should be a full-time farmer, he says in a Farm Bureau news release.
He also says it’s important for other people to step into leadership positions.
